[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure I will get lots of snark, but check out the Kentlands neighborhood in Gaithersburg, MD - very much a tight knit community, with lots of community events, walkable little area with a diner, shops, restaurants, ice cream- bands in the summer, etc. Also Garrett Park, MD.

Hi OP, I grew up very close to Dedham. I agree with Garrett Park. It has a very nice feel, it is incorporated as a town, the houses are eclectic. They also have a brand new elementary school. The housing prices can be manageable. The Kentlands is further out and more of a manufactured feel, but the houses are cute, there is a sense of community and the people are friendly. We lived there pre-kids.  I also think the the Town of Kensington and the Parkwood neighborhood have much to offer. There are some great homes, access to public transportation and an excellent community vibe. They have a bike parade on the 4th of July, music outside every weekend in the summer, labor day parade, etc. I live here now and love it.  You have to check the school boundaries when looking at Kensington. The Town of Kensington and Parkwood feed in to Walter Johnson HS, which is a great school.

Good luck and Go Sox![/quote]
